Dear all,
I am having problems installing waves2Foam on my system (Ubuntu 20.04, running on Windows 10 via WSL). I have OpenFoam v2012. Following the waves2Foam manual, I first installed the required third-party dependencies (that is gfortran, git, SVN and GSL). However, I get this error when running the ./Allwmake command in /applications/utilities/waves2Foam, during the solver compilation step: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2Foam /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2FoamGABC /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2FoamSampling collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I attach a partial log of the compilation since I think the errors are just for the PRE-PROCESSING and SOLVER compilation. A similar case was presented by bknorris (waves2Foam on an Ubuntu 18.04 with OpenFOAM 1712), but I tried what lppferreira suggests with no success. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows a workaround? Thanks! **Edit** I've found the same issue here -Can't find libraries for waves2Foam installation-, but unfortunately the proposed solution did not work for me.

I have the feeling that the error may be originated already in the LIBRARY compilation, which occurs before PRE-PROCESSING and SOLVER. During the LIBRARY compilation, I get four different errors (see attached file for an example, full log was too long):
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2Foam |

Dear all,
After some days of investigation, I think I found a solution. The error comes from waves2Foam not finding the gfortran library (libgfortran.so). Turns out waves2Foam is not looking for it in the right directory, so going into waves2Foam/src/waves2Foam/Make/options.220 one should add the following at the end of the file (also do the same for the options.220 file located inside the waves2FoamGABC/Make folder): Code:
LIB_INC = \ -I$(GFORTRAN_PATH) \ Code:
export GFORTRAN_PATH = /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/ Code:
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/libgfortran.so /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Opt/lib Hope this can help someone |
